Telmisartan is used in the treatment of Hypertension (high blood pressure), Heart failure, fever and prevention of heart attack and stroke.

How Telmisartan works

Telmisartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). It relaxes blood vessels by blocking the action of a chemical that usually makes blood vessels tighter. This lowers the blood pressure, allowing the blood to flow more smoothly to different organs and the heart to pump more efficiently.
